Indictio/ Ινδικτος

On the occasion of the Indictio of September 1, 2018 I am starting a personal art blog under the ospices of Charbonnel . 
First and foremost  I should explain what indictio means. 
Since the Roman times Indictio marked the beginning of the year and the time of harvest, compulsory provisions of food and clothing in preparation of the winter, as well as the collection of taxes, the start of the fiscal year. 
In modern day Greece, Indictio marks the new year, a day that counts the time since the beginning of the creation, approximately 7980 years ago. Also Indictio/ Ινδικτος marks still in the rural Greece the first day of the new, as well as the ecclesiastical year. 
From now on, this will be the place I present and write about  my art. Monoprints, photography and ceramics. 
Stay tuned.
